General Note: I will be reviewing all applications, applying does not necessarily mean you will be hired. My final selection will be only one person for the time being, the person will be expected to post once a week, on Monday.

A note about photo: A few folks inquiring why I request this. The reason I ask for it is that my goal is to develop a relationship with readers, having a face to connect to the voice brings in a personal element. Ultimately it is their writing, personality and voice that will be used to choose who will get the position. The photo will be used in the “about us” section, in an introductory post, and in some cases inline like you see sometimes with columnist.

That said, if someone really doesn’t want a photo of them posted, then I certainly would understand and wouldn’t force it.

I am always trying to develop a conversation, not just a post that I send out there. Ultimately it is their writing, personality and voice that will be used to choose who will get the position.
